rggoodie Moderator United States 23478 Posts	Posted 06/09/2008 3:46 pm Earlier this year and late last year. I started picking up (collecting) $200 coins This I did because everyone was ignoring them. Most of them I purchased for under $150 then a while ago someone on the forum mentioned that these were being sold on ebay cheap. Now that the rest of you have found what I had already found, I am leaving the field open to you because the price is now beyond face value. Yes they are worth what they are going for - but now that I am having to compete against so many of my forum friends- I am not willing to pay what we as a forum have caused the market to do. I have my little lovelys tucked away so if the rest of you stop bidding - I just might start again- but I wanted you all to see how much a single post on this forum can do to influence market price of coins. rggoodie aka Richard "catch em doing something right" Report this Post to the Staff

latman100 Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 06/10/2008 01:08 am Kurt if I could figure that out I would be a wise man. Dealers were buying these below face and simply cashing them in at the bank. Seems as if non-collectors don't realise that ALL of our coins are worth at least face, regardless of metal content.

rggoodie Moderator United States 23478 Posts	Posted 06/10/2008 06:33 am all of the coins I purchased except one were from sellers in the USA who did not realize the value of the coins. Up until about 2 months ago when the price started rising, I was able to obtain 7 of these at less than $160 each Report this Post to the Staff

rggoodie Moderator United States 23478 Posts	Posted 06/10/2008 09:20 am but really they are worth more than face value and that is the nice part I am amazed at what an impact our forum can have on coin prices worldwide We just have to be careful of what we discuss Report this Post to the Staff
